A Case Study: Relicensing of Pensacola Hydropower Project
The current license for the Pensacola Hydropower Project (orginally licensed in 1939) will expire in 1988. The relicensing process for the project currently is underway. During the consultation...
Reservoir Releases Improvements?Requiem for Integrating Pollution Control and Resource Management Programs?
To better define the interrelationships between economic growth and development, pollution control, and water resource management, TVA conducted two studies that examined how reservoir...
Instream Flow Values and Power Production
An approach relating the value of water instream to water flow in the stream results in a continuous function of value versus flow. This function is developed using the Physical Habitat...
Instream Flow Methodologies and Requirements
Instream flow is a term applied to the discharge occurring downstream from and at least partly controlled by a dam or diversion structure. The volume and timing of instream flows most...
Glen Canyon Environmental Studies Resource Response Analysis
The primary objective of the Glen Canyon Environmental Studies is to determine how the resources of the Grand Canyon respond to the operations of Glen Canyon Dam. Two levels of analysis...
Bio-Economic Models for Measuring the Economic Effects of Hydropower on Anadromous Fish Populations in the Pacific Northwest
An empirical model is presented for predicting the net economic value of changes in recreational catch of salmon and steelhead in Oregon, Washington and Idaho associated with construction...
Osoyoos Lake Control Structure
The new Osoyoos Lake Control Structure has been built on the Okanogan River at Oroville, Wa. The site is about 2 miles downstream from the outlet of Osoyoos Lake, and about 9 miles south...
Modeling Water Supply Benefits of a Shallow Lake in a River Reach
Minimum flow and level requirements based on ecological, water quality, recreation and other needs are established and used as limiting criteria in the development of a riverine lake as...
Daily Water Budget Model for Water Resources Management
A daily water budget model has been developed and tested for the Clinch and Powell watersheds located in SW Virginia and NE Tennessee. The model integrates available data and simulates...
An Agricultural Watershed Environmental Study
The concerns of this study are the effects of soil and water conservation measures on a salmonid habitat for an agricultural watershed. The study includes an economic analysis in accordance...
Potential Effects of Global Climatic Change on the Tennessee Valley Authority Reservoir System
Rising concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other 'greenhouse' gases are likely to increase global temperatures and...
Sediment Survey of Lake Powell
The 1986 Lake Powell Sediment Survey documented the present storage-elevation relationship and loss of storage from sediment accumulation since the reservoir began filling. From the calculated...
Ground Water Recharge with Sewage Effluent
Recharge systems for soil-aquifer treatment (SAT) of conventionally treated sewage effluent typically remove essentially all suspended solids, biodegradable material (BOD) and microorganisms...
Ground Water Basin Management and Artificial Recharge
In Coachella Valley, California, where rainfall averages only 3 inches annually, approximately 80,000 acres of crop land and 65 golf courses provide winter recreation and winter fruits...
Port Re-creation for Coastal Zone Utilization
In the present paper a planning method for port re-creation is discussed and a method to choose the best alternative under conflict situation is proposed. An example of re-creation planning...
Recreation Planning and Design for Floating Cities
The role and place of recreation planners and designers in multidisciplinary research for floating cities of the 21st Century and emerging marine recreation concepts and their relationship...
The Washington Public Shore Guide: Spotlight on Public Information
The development of the Washington Public Shore Guide: Marine Waters is traced from its early conception through publication in May of 1986 to the preparation of a supplement late in 1986....
Estuarine Quality Use and Public Perception
Coastal environmental quality is determined on the basis of a relatively small number of biochemical and physical parameters which may bear little relation to the intended use of the water....
Waste Disposal in Coastal Waters
The increasing concentration of population and industry on coastal areas, is making greater demands for coastal disposal. However, the coastal waters are also used for recreation, and...
Marina Planning with Geographic Information Systems
Water dependent coastal land uses including recreational boating facilities are being displaces by water enhanced uses. Coastal policy decisions designed to address these trends suffer...
